Hot Juice Filling For Pulpy Juice Rinser Filler And Capper, Capacity: 150 Vials Per Minute

Pet BottleHot Juice Fill
Auto Rinser/Filler /Capper to fill Pulpy Juice from 60-95 Degree with a high level of accuracy. The valve has the Latest recirculation technology. SPEEDS RANGE FROM 30 BPM TO 600 BPM.
- The beverage is pasteurized and heated to the hot filling temperature, generally between 190 - 203 F (or 90 - 95 C) in a heat exchanger for at least 15 - 30 seconds. This process typically kills all microorganisms in the liquid.
- The liquid is cooled to around 180 - 185 F (82 - 85 C) and filled at the filling station. In some cases, nitrogen is introduced into the head space (the empty space between the liquid and the brim) to remove oxygen in order to avoid oxidation. The closure is then applied immediately after. This process will sterilize the inner surface of the container.
* The container is either tilted on to one side or inverted to ensure the closures is also sterilized with the hot liquid touching the inside surface.
* The container / closure package is then brought to a cooling station (water bath or shower) to cool it rapidly, this process will help preserve the product taste and nutritional properties. The cooling process will also create a vacuum inside the container, preventing microbial growth.
* The cooled bottle / closure package is dried and decorating label is applied.
Bottles Options When it Comes to Hot Filling It is important to note that not all bottles are hot fill compatible. A quick review of our Which Plastic Is Right For Me Infographic reveals that most common plastic resin cannot withstand hot filling temperatures (Refer to Temperature Tolerance characteristics section for details). However, there are common technologies that will enable a specific type of PET plastic to be hot fill compatible. They are generally referred to as "Heat-set PET". Heat-set PET is now a common plastic container type in many hot fill beverage applications. They are specifically made to withstand hot-fill temperatures, in some cases up to 192 F, while maintaining clarity and lightweight characteristics. PET is also recyclable, making it a good alternative to glass, which is also hot fill compatible. We have compiled a short (not exhaustive list) of heat-set PET bottles here as a reference.
